Lejeune football coach Darryl Schwartz got the change he wanted to see Friday night.

Jamaz Richardson rushed for 185 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries in the Devilpups’ 47-7 nonconference win over Spring Creek.

Richardson scored touchdowns on runs of 7, 17 and 2 yards for Lejeune (1-1), which visits Lakewood next week.

Schwartz said that he decided to change his team’s offense from a spread look to more of a power-I offense following Lejeune’s 36-7 loss at Swansboro last week.

He felt the move would better utilize Richardson and other athletic players on the team.

“We went from spread to power. Sometimes as a coach you can overestimate your team’s ability or give them too much credit and that was two problems that are my fault,” Schwartz said. “So I decided to go back to the old and I guess it worked.”

Just how well did it work?

“What we did, we came out like a herd of horses and went back to the old Lejeune power-I and ran Jamaz,” Schwartz said. “We did really well. We went right down the field and we are excited about that.”

Stephen DiCenso added 90 yards rushing on nine carries. He had a 46-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

Brady Bodine had a 6-yard touchdown run and also caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Daxton Derrick. Drake Bodine added a 14-yard touchdown run.
